@Goldfish, @Goldfish, @Goldfish!

We need your numerical powers to know just how much Diplomacy Viserys is throwing around with that speech!
 
I've updated my Scholarum student tracking spreadsheet for ease of reference. The numbers below are slightly different than the table @DragonParadox posted in the above chapter. It looks like he accidentally cut out the Concept Clerics when he was removing the Nightwatch training rows. There were also two or three places that were showing a decrease in students in a particular class and level without a subsequent increase in a following level. That's an artifact of the spreadsheet and rounding errors, so I manually fixed that.

Sadly, we didn't any new Alchemists or Hedge Mages of a high enough level to operate additional Industrial Alchemy Facilities, but the numbers are very close to rolling over on the table, so we'll likely be getting at least a couple more next month. Overall, the numbers are looking quite nice, with new students who have gained a magic-using class of some sort increasing by 780. Most of those are lesser mages (Adepts, Hedge Mages, and Magewrights), but that's fine because they all fill their particular niche within the Imperium.
 
Is there any chance we could pull off a boosted version of Shadow Canopy? Being not just a bright light, but the only one would make it all more terrifying. Covering the city would be a bit much, but the red keep/any concentration of military forces could be doable.
 
[] Plan Absolute Heresy
-[] Buffs:
--[] Viserys gets his usual speech buffs and in addition uses Miracles to copy Greater Angelic Aspect (wings hidden by Greater Ribbon of Disguise) and Crown of Glory, spending Bloodwishes for Divine Presence, Sacred Nimbus,
Devil's Ego, Righteous Aura and casts Starmantle on himself. Lastly, he casts Adoration of the Frightful from a scroll.
--[] Balerion is buffed by Starmantle.
--[] Overland Flight is cast on anyone in the party not yet able to fly.
-[] When the Dauntless arrives over Kings Landing, it will be hidden in a cloud and carry with it a small layer of floating ice crystals over the city. When it reveals itself the cloud dissipates, revealing the vessel, whose glammered hull is made to display the Targaryen crest.
-[] Viserys casts as Miracle to wrap the Dauntless and the incoming Wyverns in flames. Those flames won't hurt anything, but they will shed a warm, almost golden light that lights up the entire city, and which will reflect in the ice layer above, creating an aurora-like effect that lights up the whole night sky.
-[] Balerion, the Heralds and the Wyverns will circle above the city, shedding their light on it and lighting up the sky.
-[] Viserys steps off the Dauntless' hull, gently floating down to the plaza before the Great Sept of Baelor while using scrolls of Mages Decree and his Angelic Aspects Truespeech to deliver his words to everyone in the entire city.
-[] Speech:
--[] "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the city of Sorcerers Deep, an Imperator has been crowned." 30 Words - 2 Scrolls
--[] All Imperial soldiers within the city will chant in reply, due to being spread out over the city, they will be heard in the entire city and it will sound like a massive chorus coming from everywhere: "Glory to the Imperator, here on this world and beyond."
--[] "You were made to toil and suffer in darkness by wicked kings and scheming lords, but today, I come to end their reign. With me, I bring my legions, so that the righteous shall know reprieve, and that the wicked shall know fear." 43 Words - 2 Scrolls
--[] Chorus: "By his will, we march and justice shall follow in our steps."
--[] "With me, I bring my healers, so that you may know succor. No longer shall you be made to starve. No longer shall you fear sickness and rot." 28 Words - 2 Scrolls
--[] Chorus: "Through his hand, this world shall be mended."
--[] "With me, I bring the light, so that it may warm your hearts and minds." 21 Words - 1 Scroll
--[] Chrous: "In his light, peace shall reign."
--[] "So come forth and see, for the dawn has come." 10 Words - 1 Scroll
-[] At this point, Viserys lands on the plaza, most likely in the midst of a stunned crowd. Bonus points if the High Septon comes out and kneels at this point.
-[] Viserys will then lead his party to the Red Keep and to the Iron Throne.
I see we're abandoning the last vestiges of subtelty and going full on secular messiah. I approve.

Eh. We outshine every other light source anyway.

Starmantle shines like a torch.
Righteous Aura adds a Daylight worth of light.
Sacred Nimbus does not specifically add any light, but we will gain... a golden halo in the shape of three dragon heads or something like it.
And then we have the Miracle spent on further light effects.

Viserys will glow like the midday sun.

Edit: @Goldfish, changed the link to your post.

This seems like a bit much. Doing a call and response works if it's spontaneous, but arranging one like this in advance feels tacky even in context with everything else.
 
--[X] Balerion is buffed by Starmantle and Adoration of the Frightful from a scroll.

*chortles*

This makes for a very hilarious image.

A fuckmothering Dragon flew around above. Not just any dragon, it's Balerion the Black Dread himself. The Dragon that forged Westeros as is. Beneath it is the peasantry. But instead of flailing around like a horde of headless chicken, they instead view it as if it's their best friend.
 
If more people want the set up replies removed, I'll do so. We should have enough Miracles and Mythic power riding on this that it may or may not happen eidetically anyway.

I still remember when the plan to take King's landing was to storm the capital using magic to bring a legion inside the walls, decapitating the leadership and then continuing the invasion from there, instead of just flying to the front door and saying "surrender, bitches" with our portable army.

I'm not going to say the former didn't grow on me, but I also like this current plan.
